Mark Wright has reportedly landed a job on a new prime-time ITV1 show.
The former Only Way Is Essex star has impressed bosses during his stint on ITV2's Take Me Out: The Gossip and will now present My Man Can alongside Melanie Sykes.
The new show, which features women testing how useful their men are in a series of "offbeat" challenges, is currently being filmed in Cologne, Germany, where the format is already a big hit, The Sun reports.
Males will be set challenges including eating a plate of raw chillies and limbo-dancing, with their partners predicting the outcome.
"Mark is thrilled ITV are taking a chance on him. He's wanted to be a presenter for years. If this works, he'll be exactly that," a source said.
"It's a non-broadcast pilot at the moment but it's pretty much guaranteed a decent slot. My Man Can is big in Germany and is on TV across the world. It's one of the biggest shows in China."
Sykes will be the main host while Wright, who has been teasing his new role on Twitter, will cover the challenges.
